Another quirky and eclectic Lilys set.
-
An album that lacks severely in all areas, including production, direction and inspiration.
-
FilterAn electric moment for Lilys. [#19, p.96]
-
Song by song, all of it melts into your head, relentless, narcotic and detached, yet ultimately positive.
-
Everything Wrong Is Imaginary never quite feels like the career-culminating record it should be.
-
The overall result is a record that wastes no time and seems to have a certain sense of intensity not found on Precollection, as great as that previous album was.
-
It doesn’t try to scrape the lofty heights of the two or three masterpieces in Heasley’s catalogue, but by not making the effort, it doesn’t sink as low as his least impressive stuff.
-
Entertainment WeeklyHeasley has never settled on one sound, and Wrong summarizes them all. [10 Mar 2006, p.69]
-
Alternative PressA swirling, guitar-driven headtrip. [Apr 2006, p.220]
-
Everything Wrong Is Imaginary is loosely and playfully conceived, but the stylistic goofing can't hide the exposed, bloody vein that runs throughout.
-
Under The RadarA record that is neither stuck in space rock nor Britpop, but instead channels a lo-fi meets hi-fi pop hybrid from another planet. [#13, p.92]
-
MagnetWe're left with a meandering, psychedelic buzz--not a dizzying, mind-expanding head-trip. [#71, p.102]
-
This is cathartic, psychically haunted fare; pleasing and troubling in equal measure.
-
Lilys have made a quite marvellous record.
-
UncutA beguiling mix made more loveable by its melancholic core. [Aug 2006, p.100]

JeremyMNov 26, 2006one of the best albums i've ever heard. turns My Bloody Valentine into a mutated George Clinton and back again on a dime.
-
TimEAug 7, 2006Pretty good! I'd give it an 8 but since Kurt is such a stud and an excellent performer I'll give him an extra point.
